By wit we search divine aspect above, By wit we learn what secrets science yields, By wit we speak, by wit the mind is rul'd, By wit we govern all our actions; Wit is the loadstar of each human thought, Wit is the tool by which all things are wrought.

Robert Greene

The one weapon every man, soldier, sailor, or airman should be able to use effectively is the rifle. It is always his weapon of personal safety in an emergency, and for many it is the primary weapon of offence and defense. Expertness in its use cannot be over emphasized.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

As the name of the agency suggests, 'Department of Defense,' the defense refers to the United States of America - not the defense of South Korea, not the defense of Ukraine, not the defense of Syria or Germany.

Ann Coulter

Wit has its place in debate; in controversy it is a legitimate weapon, offensive and defensive.

Theodore Parker

Wallace B. Smith

I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting, for hunting and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of a home.

Ronald Reagan

Wit is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not how to use it discreetly.

Michel de Montaigne

The vote is a power, a weapon of offense and defense, a prayer.

Carrie Chapman Catt

Wit is a weapon. Jokes are a masculine way of inflicting superiority. But humor is the pursuit of a gentle grin, usually in solitude.

Frank Muir

Patriotism is an indispensable weapon in the defense of civilization against barbarism.

Bill Kristol

To be comic is merely to be playful, but wit is a serious matter. To laugh at it is to confess that you do not understand.

Ambrose Bierce

My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.

Eric Williams

Wit is artificial; humor is natural. Wit is accidental; humor is inevitable. Wit is born of conscious effort; humor, of the allotted ironies of fate. Wit can be expressed only in language; humor can be developed sufficiently in situation.
